Camphor is a waxy, white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. It is a terpenoid with the chemical formula C10H16O. It is found in wood of the camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a large evergreen tree found in Asia (particularly in Borneo and Taiwan) and also of Dryobalanops aromatica, a giant of the Bornean forests. It also occurs in some other related trees in the laurel family, notably Ocotea usambarensis. Dried rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis), in the mint family, contain up to 20% camphor. It can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine. It is used for its scent, as an ingredient in cooking (mainly in India), as an embalming fluid, for medicinal purposes, and in religious ceremonies. A major source of camphor in Asia is camphor basil.
Norcamphor is a camphor derivative with the three methyl groups replaced by hydrogen.

When Rodan left the group, Zev found another MC to replace Rodan named Onyx the Birthstone Kid.A&R rep Dante Ross learned of KMD through the hip hop group 3rd Bass, and signed the group to Elektra Records.
Dumile and KMD's recorded debut came on 3rd Bass's song "The Gas Face" from The Cactus Album, followed in 1991 with KMD's album Mr. Hood, which became a minor hit through its singles "Peachfuzz", "Who Me?" and heavy video play on cable TV's Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City.
A feeling like camphor, rushing through my tubes
A cooling drought, a rare interlude
Drowning depression to admire and trust
Who can watch a man making dust to dust?
One legal dose of environment
The ballad of a playground swing
There's a lonely dog, so misunderstood
He's left his chores to become someone's friend
Things are so enchanting, high on life
Then, once again, the flash of pines
Beck to this breathtaking view
Where the peeks are so high, full of encouragement
And the paints of the Gods' color code
Things are so enchanting, high on life
Things are where they can't be high on life
So, I'm thinking about my favorite dream
An adventure not out of bounds
It dries my eyes to know mother earth hears
I'm invisible to blue hounds
It pleases me to have a mind on the run
When the body is fixed, tied in shoes
What expression is left to fulfill the gap?
Just a nod will suffice, where you are?
Shadow on the lung, a blur in the eye
Fluid on the brain and a kink in the spine
Self-Indulgent ; cultivated to consume
Diamond tip drill bit digging the sweetest tooth
Under the gun, over the line
American beauty withering on the vine
Saccharin smile rotting at the root
Needle nose bulldoze pulling the sweetest tooth
Give me something for the pain!
A little something for it...
Rub, rabbit, run...fight or flight
Used to be proud but now just full of pride
Over and over...is this getting through?
Pickaxe syntax chipping at the sweetest tooth
Give me something for the pain!
You cleaned us out while we were blind
Stole our car and drank our wine
Fumbled around inside our drawers
Crept in and kept us up until dawn
Then you left us broke and scattered
Out of breath and flattered
Confidences shattered
Charm and grace with a devious style
A beautiful face and a dangerous smile
Waltz right on in anytime that you like
Waltz on out whenever the mood strikes you
And you'll leave us broke and scattered
Out of breath and battered
Confidences shattered
'Cause we're all just broke and scattered
